Hondo, Hello I am an oncology nurse and it is amazing sometimes when you consider the locations and then susequentially the names of these cancers. I recall hearing of Base of the tongue and roof of the mouth cancers, I had no idea there was such a subtype at that time. I think what you are asking about is called TORS which is Transoral Robotic Surgery. I have attached a link regarding TORS use for base of tongue cancer from the Mayo Clinic in case no one replies to your post. I wish you the best of luck and if I can be of any service I am always around, Carm RN.
